Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice endorsed Meg Whitman for governor of California on Monday, in one of Rice's few forays into electoral politics since leaving office in 2009.

"In my experiences in and out of government, I find the most effective leaders to be those who maintain a clear vision, mobilize diverse groups, and inspire them to work together in confronting the most pressing challenges. That is why I am supporting Meg Whitman," Rice said in a statement.

Rice, who was provost of Stanford University before taking up the office of national security adviser in 2001, was briefly mentioned as a possible candidate for governor in 2010 but disclaimed any interested in elected office.

Whitman, the former CEO of eBay, is running in a GOP primary against state Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner, another wealthy former tech executive.

So do I endorse Meg Whitman she is tbe brightest and has the right credentials and not like the fruitcake Brown who has nothing to do except run for some office. I wish Meg Whitman who is intelligent and knows what to do and the fruit cake has no clue for anything.

WTG, Secretary Rice! I moved out of California a while back but I would definitely be voting for Meg Whitman if I still lived in Taxafornia! That state has been badly mishandled by fools who know nothing about business and a bunch of nutball tax and spend LIBERALS AND PROGRESSIVES who have destroyed all remnants of the economy. I hope she can bring it back from the brink of total disaster. She will have to be a miracle worker.
